DEATH IN THE +

mating the People?


A few years ago the people In . certain SEQ
ton in one OF the leading ciiies Of the State
were prostrated with . malignant diseAse, and
upon investigation IL was found that Only
those who used water from . famous old well
were the Victims.
Professor Il A. baltimore. analyst Of the
New York State Board Of Health, upon analyE-
ing water from this well, found it more deadly
than the city sewage!
Not long since the writer noticed while some
men were making IN excavation for q large
building, . stratum Of dark colored earth run
ming from near the surface to hard pan:
There it took another course toward Q well
near at hand. The water from this well hal
for years been tainted with the drainage from
. receiving vault, the percolAtions Of which
had discolored the earth!
similar condition Of thingxexists In every
village and city where we'll water 10 used, and
though the fNhering which the fuids receive in
passing through the earth may give them .
clear appearance, yet the poison and disease
remains, though the water may look never 90
clear.

some cautious people resort to the filter
for purifying this water, but even the filter
does not remove his poison, for water OF ths
most deadly character may pass through this
filter and become clear, yet the poison dis
Ruised is there.
They who use filters know that they must
be renewed at regular peri0ds, for even though
they do not take out all the impurity, b9
Boon become foul. -.

saaceded tact that the kidneys are the chief
means whereby the blood is purified. These
organs arc flied with thousands Of hair-liks
cubes which drain the impurities from the
blood, A. the sewer pipes drain impurities
from our houses.
II q 70 wer pipe breaks under the house, the
sewage escapes into the earth and fills the
house with poisonous gas; 80 II any OF the
thousand and one little hair like sewer tubes
Of the kidneys break down, the entire body is
affected by this awful poison.

filtered then the uric acid, or kidney poison,
removable only by Warmers safe cure, accu-
mulates in the system and attacks xny organ,
producing mine out Of ten ailments, just as
sewer gas and bad drainage produce 80 many
fatal disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to exist il
there il any marked departure from ordinary
health without apparent known cause, and it
should be understood by all that the greatest
peril exists, and is intensified, il there is the
least neglect to treat it promptly with that
great specific, Warmers safe cure, . remedy
that has reco. we'd the highest recognition by
scientific men who have thoroughly ~investi-
gated the character Of kidney arrangements.
They may not tell US that the cause of so
many diseases in this organ Is the impure
water or any other one thing, but this poison
GUS water with its impurities coursing con-
stantly through these delicate organs I'M
doubleday does produce much OF the decay and
disease which eventually terminate in the fatal
Bright's disease, for this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists, the tobacco
slave, the laborer, the merchant, and the
tramp, works terrible devastation every year.
1t IL we'll known that the liver, which is 80
easily thrown "out of gear, as they say, very
readily disturbs the action OF the kidneys.
That organ when deranged Immediately an
nounces the fact by sallow skin, con-
stipated bowels, coated tongue, and head
aches, but the kidney when diseased struggles
on for : long time, and the fact Of ito disease
can only be discovered by the aid Of tho
microscope or by the physician who is skillfnl
enough TO trace the most indirect effects in
the system to the arrangement Of these organs,
a. the prime cause.
The public is learning much on this subject,
and when it comes to understand that the
kidneys Are the. real health regulators, as they
are the real blood purifiers OF the system,
they will escape an infinite amount Of un-
necessary suffering, and add length Of days
and happineRe In their lot
